Installation
This section covers:
nSelecting the location for the camera
nInstalling the mount
nConnecting the camera (and speaker, if purchased)
nMounting the camera (and speaker, if purchased)
And a required safety note here:
Note
PoE type networks connected to this equipment are for intra-building use only and should not be connected
to lines that run outside of the building in which this product is located.
Don’t Void Your Warranty!
Caution
Always support the camera's body when lifting or moving it. Lifting the camera by its head or mounting arm
will damage it.
Caution
This product is for indoor use. Do not install it outdoors or in a humid environment without the appropriate
protective enclosure. Do not allow it to come into contact with any liquid.
Caution
Do not install or operate this product if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to liquids. If any of these
things happen, return it to Vaddio for safety and functional testing.
Before You Install the Camera
Things to keep in mind when deciding where to install the camera:
nConsider camera viewing angles, lighting conditions, line-of-sight obstructions, and in-wall obstructions
where the camera is to be mounted.
nEnsure that the camera body can move freely and will normally point away from the ceiling and lights.
The camera will not perform well if it is pointed toward a light source such as a light fixture or window.
nIf the remote will be used, ensure that nothing blocks the IR lens in the camera's base.
Prepare for a successful installation:
nBe sure you can identify all cables correctly.
nCheck Cat-5 cables for continuity.
nTalk to the network administrator. If installing the camera in a non-DHCP network (one that does not
automatically assign IP addresses), you will need to configure the camera with a static IP address as
directed by the network administrator.

Installing the Wall Mount
The camera is shipped with a wall mount. Other mounting options are available as well. Contact us if you
don’t have the camera mount you need.
You can install the camera wall mount to a 2-gang wall box or directly to the drywall.
nIf you mount it to drywall, use the wall anchors provided with the wall mount.
nIf you mount it to a wall box, use the cover plate screws supplied with the wall box.
If you install the camera wall mount to drywall, use the wall anchors provided with the mount.
This mount may be installed as shown, or flipped 180° so that the wall attachment is directly behind the
camera.
About Ceiling-Mounted Cameras
If you use an inverted mount, set the camera's Image Flip mode ON for inverted operation. This orients the
video image correctly and sets the tilt motors to respond appropriately to tilt up and down commands from
the remote, web interface, and connected control devices. This control is available to the administrator on
the web interface's System page.

Cabling Notes
Caution
When building cables for Vaddio products, do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. If they
are crimped incorrectly, they can cause intermittent connections and degrade signal quality.
Incorrectly crimped pass-through connectors can also damage the connectors on the product,
which will void your warranty.
Intact – will make reliable contact
with cable connector
Damaged – Bent contact fingers
will NOT make reliable contact
with cable connector
Use Cat-5e or better cable. We recommend using high-quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.
We recommend shielded cabling if the cables will be coiled, run tightly with other cables, or routed near
sources of electromagnetic interference such as power lines or fluorescent light fixtures.
Caution
Check your cables. Connecting a cable to the wrong port or using the wrong pin-out can result in equipment
damage and will void the warranty.
Pro Tip
Label all cables at both ends.
About Echo Cancellation
When a microphone picks up the audio from a speaker (far-end audio) during a conference, it sends the far-
end audio back to the participants at the far end, creating an echo. Acoustic echo cancellation prevents
this.
Here's how it works:
1. The speaker feeds the far-end audio into the room. This signal also goes to the audio processor as the
reference that needs to be canceled.
2. The audio processor inverts the signal and sends it to the microphone.
3. The sum of the audio that the microphone picks up from the speaker and the inverted signal is 0: The
echo is canceled.
With the audio from the speaker canceled out, the audio from the microphone includes only the sounds
originating at your end of the conference.
For the ConferenceSHOT AV system’s acoustic echo cancellation to work,
nThe line outputs or the powered speaker must be connected to provide the audio to be canceled, and
nThe microphone(s) must be connected, to route the audio from the speakers to the audio processor.
nIn the soft conferencing client, you must select the speakers and microphone connected to the camera
as the conference audio devices.

Basic Connections
Here is an example of how the camera might be set up in a medium-size conference room. (Shown:
ConferenceSHOT AV bundle – TableMIC 2.)In this setup, a PC uses a unified communications
conferencing application to manage the camera and connected microphones and speaker. When
connected in this way, the system provides echo cancellation.

The camera can also be connected without the speaker, using an HDMI audio embedder to include the far-
end audio in the HDMI output. (Shown: ConferenceSHOT AV bundle – TableMIC 1 without speaker.) This
allows you to use a display with integrated speakers. When connected this way, the system provides echo
cancellation.
This product is intended for installation and use only in environments where all PoE/PoE+ connections
originate within the building. It is not to be connected to lines that run outside the building where it is
installed.
